Description
DIAMOND ROCK TOOLS FOR PERCUSSIVE AND ROTARY CRUSHING ROCK DRILLING FIELD OP THE INVENTION The Drpsent invention concerns the field of rock bit» and buttons fcheretor. More particularly the invention relates to rock bit buttons -for percussive and rotary crushing rock drilling. The buttons comprise.cemented carbide provided with one or more bodies of polycrystal 1 ine diamond in the surface.
BACKGROUND OP THE INVENTION There are three main groups o-f rock drilling methods: percussive, rotary crushing and rotary cutting rock drilling. In eercussive and rotary crushing rock drilling the bit buttons are working as rock crushing tools as opposed to rotary cutting rock drilling,* when® the inserts work rather as cutting elements. A rock eD-ill bit generally consists of a body of steel which is provided with a number of inserts comprising cemented carbide. Many different types of such reck bi trs exist having different shapes of the body of steel andof the inserts of cemented carbide as well as different numbers and grades of the inserts.
For percussive and rotary crushing rock drilling the inserts generally have a rounded shape, often of a cylinder with a· rounded too surface generally referred to as a button.
For rotary cutting rock drilling the inserts are provided with a sharp edoe actino as a cutter.
There already exists a number of different high pressure-hi gh temperature . si ntered cutters provided with t polycrystal1ine diamond layers. These high wear resistant cutter tools are mainly used for oil drilling.
The technique when producing such polycrystalline diamond tools using high pressure-high temperature (HP/HT) has been described in a number of patents, e.g.: US Patent No 2,941,248! High. temperature high pressure apparatus.
US Patent No 3,141,746: Diamond compact abrasive.
High pressure bonded body having more than 50 vol*/. diamond and a metal binder: Co, Ni , Ti , Cr , Mn, Ta etc.
These patents disclose the use of a pressure and a temperature where diamond is the stable phase.
In some later patents: e.g. US Patent Nos 4,764,434 and 4,766,0^0 high pressure-high temperature sintered polycrystal1ine diamond tools are described. In the first patent the diamond layer is bonded to a support body having a complex, non-plane geometry by means of a thin layer of a refractory material applied by PVD or CVD technique.
’ # · In the second patent temperature resistant abrasive i ’ polycrystalline diamond bodies are described having different * additions of binder metal's at different distances from the,, working surface. r· A recent development in this field is the use of one or more continuous layers of polycrystalline diamond on the top surface of the cemented carbide button.
US Patent 4,811,801 discloses rock bit buttons including such a polycrystalline diamond surface on top of the cemented carbide buttons having a Young's modulus of elasticity 6 between 80 and 102 x 10 p.s.i., a coefficient of thermal -6 -1 expansion between 2,5 and 3,4 x 10 , a hardness between 88,1 and 91,1 HPA and a coercivity between «5 and 160 Oe. Another development is disclosed in US Patent 4,592,433 including a cutting blank for use on a drill bit comprising a substrate of a hard'material having a cutting surface with strips of polycrystal1ine diamond dispersed in grooves, arranged in various patterns.
US Patent 4,784.023 discloses a cutting element comprising a stud and a composite bonded thereto.
The composite comprises a substrate formed of cemented carbide and a diamond layer bonded to the substrate.
The interface between the diamond layer and the substrate .is de+'ined by alternating ridges of diamond and cemented carbide which are mutually interlocked. The top surface of the diamond body is continuous and covering the whole insert. The sides of the di amend body are not in direct contact with any cemented carbide.
US Patent 4.819,316 discloses a cutting element with' a Vshaped diamond cutting face. The cutting element is formed from a single circular cutting blank by cutting the blahs' into segments, joining two identical ones of the segments and truncating th® Joined segments. Also in this case the surface of the diamond body is continuous and the sides are not in direct contact with any cemented carbide.
Yet another development in this field is the use of cemented carbide bodies having different structures in different distances from the surface.
I.JS Patent 4,743« "15\ di scl oses rock bit buttons of cemented carbide containing an eta-phase core surrounded by a surface zone of cemented carbide free of eta-phase and having a low content of cobalt in the surface and a higher content of cobalt closer to the eta-phase core.
US Patent 4.020,482 discloses rock bit buttons of cemented carbide having a content of binder phase in the surface that is lower and in the center higher than th© nominal content. In the center there is a zone having a uniform content of binder phase. The tungsten carbide grain size is uniform throughout the body.
OBJECT Or THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a rock bit button of cemented carbide with one or more bodies of pol ycrystai1ine diamond in the surface with high and uniform compression of the diamond body (bodies) by sintering at high pressure and-high temperature ir, the diamond stable area, It is a. further object of the invention to make it possible to maximize the effect of diamond on the resistance to cracking and chipping e.nc to wear as well as to minimize the consumption of the expensive diamond feed stock.
It is still further an object of the invention to obtain a button cf which the machining operations can be made at n low cost.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION.
According to the present invention there is provided a rock bit button -for percussive and rotary crushing rock drilling comprising a body of cemented carbide provided with one or more bodies of polycryetalline diamond in the surface and produced at high pressure and high temperature.
Each diamond body is completely surrounded by cemented carbide except the top surface.
The rock bit button above can be adapted to different types of rocks by changing the material properties and geometries of the cemented carbide and/or the polycrystal1ine diamond, especially hardness, elasticity and thermal expansion, giving different wear resistance and impact strength of the button bits.
Percussive rock drilling tests using buttons of the type described in US Patent 4,311,801 with continuous polycrystalline layers on the surface of cemented carbide have revealed a tendency of cracking and chipping off part of the diamond layer.
When using one or more discrete bodies of polycrystalline diamond according to the invention it was surprisingly found that, the cracking and'chipping tendency considerably decreased. At the same time the wear resistance of the buttons was surprisingly high.
* The explanation for these effects, the increase of the resistance against cracking and chipping and against wearing, might be a favourable stress pattern caused by the difference between the thermal expansion of the diamond body and the cemented carbide;body, giving the diamond a high and uniform compressive prestress', A further improvement of the. behaviour of the buttons was revealed when using a cemented .carbide body having a multistructure according to US Patent 4,743,515 , FIG.7. it was surprisingly found that the cracking tendency of the cemented carbide in the bottom of the bodies of polycrystal1ine diamond considerably decreased compared to the corresponding geometry ancj composition without the multi-structure carbide. Also the wear resistance of the buttons was improved at the same time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION.
The rock bit button according to the present invention is provided with one or more polycrystalline diamond bodies in the surface. The diamond bodies can be of various shapes such as spherical, oval, conical or_ cylindrical of which shapes..... with a rounded bottom are preferred. Other more asymmetrical shapes can be used such as rectangular or a rectangular cross pattern like an X or-+ sign from a top view. Of course, to reduce stress concentration points and reduce cracking, all ?0* angles on edges and corners would be well rounded or Ci chamferred. Other shapes such as pyramids, square pyramids or chevrons may be excellent cutter points as well.
For special applications the diamond may be disposed on the convex carbide surface in rings or spirals.
Combinations of different shapes and sizes in the same button x can also be used.
Independent of the shape the surface length of the diamond body shall be more than 1 mm, preferably 2-10 mm and the height more than 0,5 mm, preferably 1-5 mm. The size of the body of polycrystal1ine diamond is depending on the size of the button and the number of diamond bodies. Small bodies are less sensitive to cracking and chipping than larger bodies.
The rock bit button shall have a diameter of 5-30 mm > preferably 7-15 mm. Other shapes than cylindrical are also possible such as chisel shaped, spherical, oval or conical.
Other more asymmetric shapes could also be used such as rectangular, pyramids or square .pyramids.
The number of diamond bodies shall be at least one, • · ·* preferably less than 15. One preferred embodiment is just one concentric diamond body on top of the button with a • surface length of 10-50 7., preferably 15-30 7., of the diameter of the cemented carbide button independent of the shape of the'diamond body. Another preferred embodiment is 2 -5 diamond bodies on too of_the_button bit.
The distance between the diamond bodies depends on the size of the button and the number of diamond bodies. 10-50 7, preferably 15-30 7, of the Rxpiosed button area shall be covered by diamond bodies.
Preferably the separation distance between adjacent bodies shall be at least i mm, preferably 1-3 mm.
The diamond bodies can be located symmetrically or asymmetricaHy around the button. The diamond bodies are preferably closer to each other on areas more exposed to wear, depending on where the button is placed in the drill bit.
The polycrystalline diamond body shall also be adapted to the type of rock and drilling method by choosing the grain size of the diamond and the amount of binder metal.
• I The grain size of the . diamond;shal1 be 3-S00 micrometer, preferably 35-150 micrometer. The diamond may be of only one nominal grain size or consist.of a mixture of sizes, such as w/o of 40 micrometer and 20 w/o of 10 micrometer.
« Different types of binder metals can be used in the diamond body such as Co, Ni , Mo, Ti, Zr, W, Si, Ta, Fe, Cr, Al, Mg, Cu,etc. or alloys between them.
The amount of binder metal shall be 1-40 vol.7, preferably 3-20 vol. 7..
In addition other hard materials, preferably' less than 50 vol.7,can be added to the polycrystalline diamond body such as ί B C. TiB , SiC, ZrC. WC. TiN. ZrB, ZrN, TiC, (Ta.Nb)C, 4*2 Cr—carbides, AIN, Si N A1B , etc. as well as whiskers of 3 4 2 B C, SiC, TiN, Si N , etc. (See US. Patent 4,766,040 ) -34 The bodies of polycrystallihe diamond may have different levels of binder metal at -different distances from the working surface according to US Patent 4,766,040.
The cemented carbide grade shall be chosen with respect to type of rod; and dri 1.1 ing. methods. It is important to choose a grade which has a suitable wear resistance compared to that of the polycrystalline diamond body. The binder phase content of the cemented carbide grade shall be 3-35 weight 7., preferably 5-12 weight 7. for percussive and preferably 5-25 weight 7. for rotary crushing rock drilling buttons and the grain size of the cemented carbide at least 1 micrometer,.. preferably 2-6 micrometer.
In a preferred embodiment the cemented carbide body shall have a core containing eta-phase. The size of this core shall be 10-957., preferably 30—657.· of the total amount of cemented carbide in the body.
The core should contain at least 2% by volume, preferably at least 1Q7. by volume of eta-p^ase but at most 607. by volume, preferably at the most 337. by volume.
In the sone free of eta-phase the content of binder phase, i.e. in general the content of cobalt,shall in the surface be 0,1-0,9, preferably 0,2-0,7 of the nominal content of binder phase and the binder phase content shall increase in the # * direction towards the core up to a maximun of at least 1,2 , preferably 1,4-2,5 of the nominal content of binder phase.
The width of the sone poor of.binder phase shall be 0,2-0,9 , preferably 0,3-0,7 of the width of the zone free of eta-phase but at least 0,4 mm and preferably at least 0,8 mm in width. The bodies of ooiycryetailine diamond may extend a shorter or longer distance into the cemented carbide body and the diamond bodies can be in contact with all three described zones, preferably in contact only with the binder phase poor zone.
In one embodiment the diamond body consists of one big well crystallized grain surrounded by finer grains. In another embodiment the diamond body consists of a presintered body in which the binder metal has been extracted by acids. The cemented carbide buttons are manufactured by powder metallurgical methods. The holes for the diamond bodies are preferably made before sintering either in a separate operation or by compacting in a specially designed tool. Particularly in the case of the multi-structure embodiment the holes may be made after the sintering of the cemented carbide.
After sintering the holes are filled, with diamond powder, and binder metal and other ingredients, sealed and sintered at high pressure, more than 3,5 GPa, preferably at 6-7 GPa, and at a temperature of more than HOO’C .preferably 1700*C for 1-3C minutes, preferably about 3 minutes.
The content of binder metal in the diamond body may be controlled either by coating the button before filling * * * * with diamond with a thin layer of e.g. TiN' by CUD- or PVD-methods or by using thin foils such as Mo as disclosed in US Patent 4,764,434.
After high-pressure sintering the button is blasted and ground to final shape and dimension.
